missing school /   going   to   be   late?
  • ​Call (604) 713-5426 - 1, and follow the prompts to report an absence or late arrival.   Give your child’s first and last name, division, reason for absence – if your child is going to be away for multiple days, please indicate which days .
  • If your child is  late, bring them to the front door of  the school and ring the bell for assistance.
  • SCHOOL SIGN-OUT PROCEDURE:   ​If you are going to be picking up your child during the school day it will be helpful if you can contact the child’s teacher ahead of time so that they can be prepared. Please ensure that you report to the office and we will call your child’s classroom. Clear communication is essential for ensuring the safety of your child and to prevent unnecessary searches.

Unelected roles
Mailchimp Redesign
Have some design skills and  familiar with Mailchimp? We'd love to do a little refresh of our email newsletter template.

Diversity and Inclusion
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee  advocates for an equitable, diverse and inclusive Tennyson. The committee meets once a month for about an hour (8 meetings per year). 

Quebec Futures Committee
The Quebec Futures Committee requires parents and caregivers to guide this program and facilitate the year over year transfer of information and resources to parents planning for their child’s Quebec Exchange. The Quebec trip has not happened for the past 3 grade 7 classes and the structure of the trip may well need to be examined to ensure its relevance moving forward. Meetings are approximately 3x per year. Representation across all grades is important. No previous experience with the Quebec Exchange is required. More info can be  found   HERE.

Planetary Health
Are you interested in sustainable  education and programs? Would you like to meet with likeminded parents and caregivers? This is not yet a  committee, but an idea germinating. Please let us know if you'd like to be involved in this initiative.

Munchalunch Mastermind
Set up and manage the back end of hot lunch ordering, noon hour programs and any other PAC programs. Time commitment is 30 - 60 minutes per day during set up and launch of each session. 1 to 2 hours weekly otherwise. Best part about this job? You can do it anytime and from anywhere! Never make it to the school? Have an alternate platform idea? This job might be for you. (This job does not include  organizing  food and vendors)

Weekly Email Blast Writer
Be the author of our weekly email blasts. Blasts come out every week on a Sunday or Monday. Pulling it all together depends how organized you are: approx 2 hours per week. Add an hour per week during busy times: Sep - Dec.  This is also a job that can be done remotely.
